Swallows Me Whole - Lori McKenna

You say you think you can help me

Think of me as someone who bleeds

Well I never told you to love me

That’s your sort of greed

I can make my own decisions

I can do what I want to do

And I don’t have to share my addiction

With any of you

I’ll be just fine out of my mind

I like it this way, I know when to pray

I’m in control till it swallows me whole

I know you’d like to control me

You always need to be right

Because I’m late once or twice

Lose a job or stay out all night

But I can see high above it

The world is a boundary for you

And I know that you’d like to see through it

The way that I do

I’ll be just fine out of my mind

I like this it this way, I know when to pray

And I don’t need any until I need more

I said I was sorry a hundred times before

And I’m in control till it swallows me whole

Well you say that you have to leave now

You can’t stand the things that I do

And you know that I’ll need this more

Than I’ll ever need you

I’ll be just fine out of my mind

I like this it this way I know when to pray

And I don’t need any until I need more

And I don’t need any until I need more

And I don’t need any until I need more

And I’m in control

Till it swallows me whole

Till it swallows me whole

Swallows me whole
